Vincent Verhage

About the Composer
Vincent started his musical steps on euphonium with the Salvation Army and Fanfare Orchestra 'Nieuw Leven' in Vianen. After his conservatory studies: bachelor euphonium and master conducting, Vincent has gained many years of experience playing in and conducting wind orchestras at all levels. His current activities consist of conducting amateur wind bands, giving individual brass lessons and being a music teacher at a primary school. He also conducts a number of youth orchestras.
Vincent started writing compositions to provide his youth orchestras with extra educational and appealing material. In this way he can offer all students an extra challenge at their own level.
"It is better to play a wrong note very loud than to get everything right softly."
